Maverick and Emma was saying goodbye to Carole and Bradley

Thank you for watching her for me Pete said to Carole

Of course she said and hugged him

Then Bradley hugged Emma

Bye bye em

Bye B she said

Then they went to get a drink from a little area

Emma was sitting on Pete's lap

She got herself a chocolate milk

Excuse me

May I?

Please

Here let me move that he said and moved Emma chocolate milk

I'll, I'll have what he's having

Hemlock, is it?

Ice water

Emma then started to slowly fall asleep

Then Pete picked up Emma and they went to vipers house

Then Emma was awake

Hey sleeping beauty he said to her

Then they got to viper's house

Well, hi, Maverick, come on in

How are you doing?

Good

Really? You sure? You sure you're feeling okay with everything

Oh, I feel great

Then a 2 year old Steve was walking with his brother

Hi Emma he said

Hi Steve she said

Go play with Steve okay Pete said to her

Okay

Jamie, come on, can I get you a drink or anything else like that?

No, thank you

Okay, well why don't you just

Thank you very much

Make yourself comfortable

Because Mike will be right down, okay?

Mom, have seen my new plane? Steve asked

It's in your room honey, by your bed

Then he took Emma hand

Great, thank you

I flew with your old man

VF-51, the Oriskany

You're a lot like he was

Only better and worse

He was a natural heroic son of a bitch, that one

So he did do it right

Then Pete and viper watched Steve and Emma go outside

Yeah, he did it right

Then they both want outside

Is that why you fly the way you do?

Trying to prove something?

Yeah your old man did it right, what I'm about to tell you is classified

It could end my career

We were in the worst dogfight I ever dreamed of

Bogies like fireflies all over the sky

His F-4 was hit, he was wounded but he could've made it back

He stayed in it, saved three planes before he bought it

How come I never heard that before?

Now, that's not something the state department tells dependents when the battle occurred over the wrong line on some map

So you were there?

I was there

What's on your mind?

My options, sir

Simple

First you've acquired enough points to show up tomorrow and graduate with your top gun class

Or you can quit, but I don't think quitting will set a good example on that baby girl you got he said and pointed to Emma who was running around with Steve and his sister Lisa

There'd be no disgrace

That spin was hell it would've shook me up

So you think I should quit?

I didn't say that

The simple fact is, you feel responsible for goose, and you have a confidence problem

Now, I'm not gonna sit here and blow sunshine up your ass, lieutenant

A good pilot is compelled to always evaluate what's happened

So he can apply what he's learned

Up there, we gotta push it

That's our job

It's your option lieutenant, all yours

Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, sir, but thank you very much for your time

No problem, good luck

Emma, come on sweetie he said

Bye bye Steve she said and ran to her dad

Then he picked her up and went back to their house

Then Pete sat Emma down

Hey, baby do you want to come with me to my graduation

Her face lights up

Will I get to see your planes? She asked

I can take to see some he said and picked her up and kissed her cheek
